Mauritius Telecom (MT) has expanded its 5G network nationwide.

“This technology will enable the rise of revolutionary innovations such as augmented and virtual reality and the Internet of Things (IoT). It also promises to revolutionize sectors such as transport, production, health and even sport,” said MT in a press release.

It was in July 2021 that MT introduced 5G in Mauritius, one month after obtaining an operating license and frequencies from the Information and Communication Technology Authority (ICTA). Its 5G mobile technology was then available in five specific areas of the country. In April 2024, the public company launched ultra-broadband in Rodrigues.

The national deployment of 5G should help to democratise the service in the Mauritian telecoms market.
